North Point SUP Classic 2010

Last year’s North Point SUP Classic, one of the greatest SUP comp in France, has been awesome, in 2009 I finished 3rd of the SUP race, 5th of the SUP surfing contest and 3rd overall.

This year there was lot more people, it was great to see so many riders, the SUP race was longer and most of the riders had a nice raceboard (last year we were riding wave boards !).
SUP surfing contest was fantactic, the first rounds took part in a very (very very) small beachbreak, the semi finals and finals on a very nice reef break.
This year I won the SUP race on the new Nidecker 12′6 All Water Race, in the SUP surfing contest I almost loose in quarter finals but I made it, in semi finals I got some good waves and so I did in the 6 men final but not as good as I needed and I took 5th, not as good as expected but enough to win the overall !

Results :
SUP Race : 1st
SUP Surf : 5th
Overall : 1st
